New resources for those who advocate for young people in care

 

In a new video advocates Amanda, Melissa and Jodie share some of their insights and experience with the many people, of all ages and roles, who strive to make sure that the voice of a young person in care is heard.

If you would like to consider issues about advocacy for young people in care further, you can also download a transcription of the video and  discussion questions.

 

Please feel free to use this video and the accompanying materials in your training and we would be pleased to hear feedback and suggestions.  Just click the ‘comment’ link near the headline of this story.

I have the right to be safe and well cared for.

As a child and young person in care, you have special rights. These are rules that should be followed so you can grow up happy, healthy and achieving your dreams.

If you feel that your rights are not being met, and you are not being listened to, we can help.
